Podcast #398: Who is gonna fail your antibiotic plan?

Author: Erik Verzemnieks, MD

  • Recent study provides at least some evidence to help predict antibiotic failure for cellulitis, which is not necessarily straight forward
  • Intuitive risk factors such as recent cellulitis, chronic ulcers, history of MRSA are associated with antibiotic treatment failure
  • Oddly, tachypnea at triage was associated with the highest odds ratio for treatment failure
